With that said, even LeBron had to be an admirer of Jordans and here is proof; as LeBron’s Nike Air Max VII Heroes Pack have been announced that includes these (inspired by the Air Jordan 11 (XI) Retro – Black / Varsity Red – White).

If you’re a soccer player and you aren’t trying to get your hands on these Nike Football Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II boots something is wrong! C’mon Son! Seriously, players like Cristiano Ronaldo gave input on what direction Nike should take with the boot. Need I say more? Anyhow, the shoe has an ultra lightweight boot molded with a Flywire upper. The shoe also employs a unique adaptive traction system developed through the Nike SENSE where adaptive studs can extend and retract up to 3mm depending on field and ground conditions, and pressure exerted by the player. In addition to these updates, there are many more, including a digital connection through Nike Football+. The Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II will be available through Nike Store starting April 1. More pictures follow…

What hasn’t changed though is PRO-Keds being in style! A few of the colorways can be had now here and will require $100 for the hi model and $90 for the lo. More pictures of the variations follow…

I am super late on this but had to post it anyway… it’s always interesting to know what goes behind the concept of a shoe design.
